Very encouraging CimetrA news today from MGC7 Mar 2023 07:40
R & D departments and M&A specialists at big pharma are going to be all over this research. All the signs are clearly pointing to a big new revenue stream opening up in the pharma sector and MGC is leading the way. At some stage a major pharma is going to either licence CimetrA or buy out MGC. It's a waiting game but with every positive RNS highlighting its potency in the treatment of inflammatory diseases MGC is becoming more and more interesting from an investment perspective.
Highlights from the RNS today:
· MGC Pharma has completed an in-vitro pre-clinical study on CimetrA™'s mechanism of action (MoA)
· The study, which was carried out at the GLP-Certified Science in Action Lab, in Ness Ziona, Israel, examined the mechanism underlying the CimetrA™-mediated anti-inflammatory effect on human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC)
· The study demonstrated the inhibitory effect of CimetrA™ on the mRNA expression and, as a result, on the secretion of IL-32 proteins and the subsequent suppression of inflammation and inflammatory cytokines
· Additional findings show that CimetrA™ increases intracellular HO-1 the antioxidant activity in cells, protecting against oxidative stress that causes the inflammation
· Further demonstrates CimetrA™'s ability to be extended into the anti-inflammatory market.
* The study showed an increase in intracellular Heme-Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) levels (Figure 3). HO-1 is an enzyme which facilitates the breakdown of metabolites in the cell, enhancing the antioxidant activity and providing protection against oxidative stress, which can cause inflammation. This is a further indication as to the CimetrA™ MoA and its treatment of inflammatory disease including COVID-19, seasonal cold and flu, among others.
In summary, "We conclude that the presence of the IL-32 mRNA protein plays a critical role in the secretion of the cytokines (Figure 1), such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) and IL-6 (Figure 2), that cause inflammation. Control of this protein is then the fundamental pathway to manage and reduce inflammation".
It's also worth noting that this very encouraging data announced today is to be presented to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of the application to register CimetrA.
It won't be long before big pharma really starts to take a commercial interest in MGC. Watch this space....
Good luck, Brighty
